goodes THe ordinaunces wherfore the vycount of Leon is acustomed to y e seales called seales of cōducte and not brefes was because the sayd Vycoūte was at the passage there as it behoued al vessels to assemble laden or empty to thēde that none should misdo other bycause thei were of straūge coūtres it was agreed y t he shuld kepe vesselles to saue cōducte them toward theyr landes frō the sayd harborowe to suffer that all maner of people myghte take vitailes on his foresaid groūd it was accorded therfore that he shuld haue a certayne somme for the seales And in case y t any ship passed forth without takyng vytayle on his said grounde not hauing the sayd seales to be forfayt in body goodes And y e said vicoūt may folowe then what parte soeuer they go and leade them wyth hym as thynges forfayted to iustyfie in his said ground and they beholden to shewe all the seales of vyages that they haue made for yeares by thys the sayde Vycoūt is holden to kepe the sayd vessels in peace within this sayd ground to hyr power And this is his ryght wyth the mynde of many Syth the Lordes of Brytain haue conquered the sayd Vycount and these be the two noblesses of the prince And syth the sayde noblesses were hole to hym hath wylled that the Spanyerdes and other that they maye take harborowe in his ground without aduenture charged or to be fraught fro straunge landes y t where the brefes should be saufe to them to demaunde the sayd brefes wyth in the thyrd tyde after that they haue cast y t anker on lande in the hauen to rest or els to fetche thē what parte soeuer they be in case that they shoulde not haue passed by the race of saynte Mathewe but yf they do not passe they shall not be saued by suche wyll and maner ☞ Here begynneth the iudgementes of the See of shyppes of maysters of maryners of marchauntes and of al theyr doynges FYrst one mā is made mayster of the ship and the ship belongeth to many parteners departeth frō the coūtey of whence it is and cōmeth to London or o another place and is fraught to go into a straunge coūtrey the mayster ought not to sell the shyp without he haue a procuracyon or lycence of the owners But yf he haue nede of money for the expenses of the shyppe he maye laye to guage some of the take lynges by the counsell of the maryners of the shyppe This is the iudgement A Shyp lienge in a hauen and taryeth for y e freyght tyme to departe the mayster ought take counsell wyth his felowes and saie mates howe lyke ye this wether Some wyll saye it is not good let it ouer passe Other wyll saye the wether is good fayre The mayster ought to agre to y e mooste or els yf the shyp peryshe he is boūde to restore the value as it is praysed yf he haue wher with This is the iudgement IF a shyp pereysh in any place the maryners ought to saue the most parte of the goodes in the shyp in so doyng the mayster ought to gyue them theyr costes reasonable to good to lande yf they haue saued so much that the mayster may do it And the maister may lay to bledge of the saued goodes to some honest man for them And if he can not helpe them so he is not boūde to rewarde them but they to lose theyr rewardes whē the shyp is lost And the mayster maye sell no takelynge of the shyp but yf he haue procuracyon or lycence of the owners But he ought to put them in saufgarde to the tyme y t he do'th knowe the wyll of the owners he ought to do it the moost truely that be can yf he do otherwise he is holdē to make amēdes if he haue wherwith This is the iudgement ALso yf a shyp departe fro Burdewes or another place laden it chaunceth somtyme that it wracketh and the moste parte of the goodes that may be his saued the marchaūtes y e mayster be at greate stryfe the marchaūtes aske their
